Competition in the property market is tough at the moment. Prices are rising quickly, and properties are often selling before estate agents have a chance to put up a ‘for sale’ board.
If you’re keen to beat the competition with a quick house sale to secure the home of your dreams, you want your current property looking its best. These top style tips will ensure your property stands out from the crowd.
Be bold with colour
People often assume that getting your property ready to sell means painting it all beige. That simply isn’t the case.
When you sell a property, you’re also selling a lifestyle. Your viewers want to be able to picture themselves living in the property, and that’s more easily done if your property has some personality. That doesn’t mean you have to make your home look like a Jackson Pollock painting, however. Bold colours should be used sparingly to create accents in the property.
Vintage – great for the planet, great for your home
Vintage hasn’t lost any of its appeal over recent years. Second-hand and upcycled pieces can add interest and depth to any property and make them stand out from other properties on the market.
If you have a period property, work with its history
Old doesn’t need to mean boring or ‘twee’. If you have a property with period features, make the most of them. Country cottage chic is still a popular look in interior design. Pair prints and soft lines with more modern features to offer your buyers the best of both worlds.
Don’t shy away from print
Print on soft furnishings can be a great, cost-effective way to freshen up your property without a big commitment.
If you have a home office, show it off!
Lastly, any property with a home office (or home office potential) is sure to be popular with buyers in the current market. A home office is a great place to experiment with colour and pattern to create a stylish working environment.
